Elemental balance in a chart can tell us about the native's relationship to time. In astrology we often think of the order of elements as the one found related to the signs; Fire, Earth, Air, Water. This is seeing the elements in a flat 2D plane.

As an Electional astrologer, I find this is the biggest hurdle for people. Out in the wild, where the events have to happen, we always have to find good enough. The good enough election that happens is 100% more effective than the perfect one that doesn't.
